Answer:
An exponent value in a would make the system inconsistent because it will either gain or lose height over time.
Any real number without an exponent value will make the system consitent.
Any infintite/repeating number will make the system both consistent and inconsistent. it is consisent because it will stay at a constant rate but also inconsistent because it is repeating and will never end.
These triangles are congruent by AAS condition hence the statement is true
Diagram:
M------------O-------------N
................. ^ midpoint
Obviously if O is the *mid*point, then it is exactly halfway between M and N. That also means it has bisected the segment into two equal parts.
On one side you have MO (or OM, if you like)
On the other side you have ON.
In order for O to be the midpoint:
ON = OM
